How were Cape Dutch gables built - and how can they be built today?
Cape Dutch facades can be somewhat duplicated by hand made removable plywood forms. The forms are shaped and poured inplace with concrete, than removed after curing, a smooth wall will be the end result. The banding, scrolls that outline the facade are built freehand using portland cement products that will be compatible with the poured in place wall. It is a time consuming project and worth the time and energy another method would be using the conventional stick frame stucco wall method, three coat application of portland cement on the exterior walls, consisting of a scratch coat, brown coat, and a finish coat. The banding, scrolls that outline the facades are also built and shaped freehand using portland cement products. This is a proven method, I built such a structure on the Mississippi Gulf Coast with great success.

How much does a skyscraper cost?
I think the average skyscraper is around $800 million. I mean, most small commercial buildings are about about $10 million, unless in the Bay Area, where that would buy you a fancy box. A good rule of thumb in skyscraper construction is about $7-15 million per story, although even this varies widely due to variations in local costs, taxes, and construction rates. Skyscrapers have become more and more expensive to build. For example, the Aon center in Chicago is 1,136 feet tall, and was completed in 1973 for less than $200 million. But the Trump International Hotel (also in Chicago) is 1,389 feet, and was completed in 2009 for more than $800 million!
